Akshay Kumar took to his Twitter handle to share a picture from the sets of Raksha Bandhan where he is seen discussing something with the director while holding a clapboard in his hand. "Growing up my sister, Alka was my first friend. It was the most effortless friendship.
@aanandlrai’s #RakshaBandhan is a dedication to her and a celebration of that special bond ♥️
